White line (horizontal) through screen

HI,
I have a student who has a white line through his screen (top to bottom) does anyone know if this is fixable. He says he stepped on his netbook. Fair enough.
I am aware it could be a small crack in the screen. But I am leaning towards a loose connection somewhere behind the screen possibly.
I feel that this will need to be insured through the system we have at this school.
But if any one has encountered this before? Usually if it is a cracked screen there are streaks through the display and you cannot see a thing. This is different.
Any thoughts or experince would be appreciated.
Solved!

Hi and welcome,
unfortunately ..  lcd-panel that delicate electronic will not obvious a big split,  due pressure that could be produce small pixel thin lines ...1 or 2 at first ...lines will get more and more after a not defined time...
to cure this ... change the lcd panel ...
but aware ...the cost , when change this in local service (sparepart & technician)  , could be near  the price for a new Ideapad ..

  • Does anyone screen freeze and have white lines going through it

    My screen seems to freeze and have white lines going through it like its defective. It happen about 6 times already today.

    Hi,
    To do the PRAM reset, just click on the highlighted words in my last post, it will take you to an Apple Support page which tells you how to do it. No, it will not delete anything.
    If you have only had it 10 months, it is under the standard 1-year warranty.
    To make an appointment with the Genius Bar, visit this site. If you are not in the United States, choose your region from the pulldown menu on the right.
    By the way, that PRAM link is for Yosemite. If you have Mavericks, go here.

  • Cursor arrow gone from solid black to having white lines go through it and trackpad is not working properly in mail and adobe acrobat - anyone know how this could have happened and how to solve it?

    Can anyone help me?  Concerned that I may have some kind of malware.  My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely,  The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it.  The trackpad does not function normally either.  For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail  it sometimes works and sometimes does not.  In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work.  In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
    Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have weird looking white lines on my screen

    Greetings guys,
    Everytime I unlock my iPod Touch 4G it has some weird horizontal white lines and the screen in all washed out.
    I have to press the lock button again and than bring it up again.
    Do you know a good solution ?
    Thanks,
    Rebecca

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

    The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also,
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

  • My iphone 5 stopped working. I only see a thin white line on the screen

    My iphone stopped working.  I can only see a thing white line on the screen and the screen does not respond at all although turning the phone on vibrate makes it vibrate.  The screen has been cracked for some time but has worked fine until today.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi susiesunshine,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the screen on your iPhone is cracked and it's only displaying a white line. This generally means that the iPhone needs to be sent in for service, see the articles below for more information about the service suggestion and repair pricing.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802

    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.

  • Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

    I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
    Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
    I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
    The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
    it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
    in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
    please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]
